CAPITALIST BlGOTRY.

There are many besides those who
call themselves anarchists that are
Disguised and even enraged at the
sanquinary events that have re-
Gently occurred IN Chicago. Among
them may be mentioned the Social
lists to man, and every true demo
crat. Naturally enough, while Il
reign of terror Is kept up by tho
police at the instigation of the prop
ertied class, most people will keep
their opinions to themselves. New
ertheless few of the more thought
full, honest and brave men have ex-
pressed opinions that are condemn
atory of the system that grinds down
the workers, and, as part of that
damnable system, the means used by
the ruling class to prevent the
masses attempting any lawful means
to better their condition. Even
among the clergy there have been
found those who, with more or less
exactness rs to facts, have con-
demned the murder by the State of
Illinois of five victims of class hatred.
Of these my be mentioned A. A.
Miner, of Boston; J. 9. Kimball, of
Hartford; John g. Collins, of New
Haven, and Hugh o. Pentocost, of
Newark. Speaking of such clergy
men the Hartford Times, edited by
bigot, says:
"These preachers do not reflect public
sentiment. They fatty oppose it,"
If this be true, they certainly fol-
low the example of their Master,
Christ. He also did not reflect pub
Pic sentiment he opposed it. lie
was hung for his opposition. The
l3.igot editor pretends to worship this
TO / poser of public sentiment.

THEY LIED.

If all the "nows" concerning the
30 called anarchists which is printed
in the capitalist papers was true,
there would be some excuse for de-
nouncing them and imprisoning
them.
If any Of them committed murder,
we should be the first to demand
their punishment.
The capitalist editors have much
to answer for, but for nothing more
than the gross misrepresentation of
their victims. These criminally
thoughtless editors have deceived
the people, and the people, believing
that they were opposing anarchy as
defined in the dictionaries, have de-
manded the execution of four good
citizens, The people will repent.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.


~FeREIGN POLICE IN AMERICAN CITIES.
One reason for police outrages has
rs yet been hardly noticed by even
the labor press and that is, the ig-
norance of the police officers them
selves with regard to our Constitu-
ton and the rights of the citizen I'M
der it. The raw Irishman or Ger
man appointed, perhaps, almost be-
fore he has fairly got ashore is likely
to be and usually is as ignorant Of
what are our constitutional rights as
a man can we'll be, and he's not like
ly to learn much after he gets on the
70 &c except an increased disregard
of guarantees he knows nothing at
all about. Carter Harrison. a blood
relation of President Harrison, hay
ing grown up with a knowledge of
constitutional rights as part of his
own family traditions and history,
said that the meeting was peacesble
and that the men had right to say
their say without let or hindrance.

allure. OF course it would only help our
cause, but the same should also be done
on the labor side. Look at the doings of
the capitalist press--is it not terrible?
Is il not high time that something be
done to counteract its Influence?
Let every Socialist and intere 3ted man
contribute little each week to a fund to
circulate the ADVOCATE all over the
country can you think of any thing bet
ter at present to do under the circum-
stances? can not, for my part. If
you advocate this policy in your paper
in short time thousands and thousands
will become regular agitators on this line,
and such revolntionizing o. thought
will take place as has never been seen,
now is the time when SO many feel bitter
against tyrants, they will gladly take
hold, and lombard the enemy with liter
aturc. There is no use of me telling you
all about this idea for you understand its
worth.
Each man can he the means in this
way of winning hundreds to Socialism;
and if hundred thousand men do the
same what a tremendous work can be
accomplished . | believe that if You ad-
vocate this idea in all earnest in your
paper you can get a hundred thousand
men to do it. Willyou please think over
it? Of course, Socialism is going ahead
anyhow, but this will be a great aid

AN ACT-NOT THE LAST.

AN AZ MOI IHE LAST.
Just after our last issue had gone
TO press came the news of the fate of
the victims of capitalism.
Five men murdered by authority
of the people of Illinois.
Perjured witnesses testified against
them.
Partial judges misconstrued the
law to crafty their enemies.
A prejudiced jury found them
guilty.
The constitution was trampled
under foot, and the popular clamor
for blood was catered to.
One man was sentenced to prison
for fifteen years; two for life; five
condemned to death
What had they done? Oonspired
to murder, say their accusers. Con
spired to expose and convict murder
ers, say we.
Capitalism speaks of the lega
murder of its victims as the last &C,
in the tragedy. Fond fools
The history Of the Labor move
ment is not written vet.

sinister definition which you allow to be
given in your columns of anarchsm,
which, whether militant or civic, is the
true synonym of spontaneity and per-

also, however badly it needs capital, has
less to hope from legal appropriation
than from corporate cooperation.

SOCIALISM TO THE FORE IN
ENGLAND,

The English Church Congress, one of
the most conservative bodies of the old
world, has been discussing the accur ed
"ism" and the hands of the Lords anoint-
ed have actually been laid upon the Sa-
cred Ark of Capital. How is this?
There is an adequate cause for evary
effect; can it be that the Church of Eng
Ia; is really going to preach Christian
ity at last or is it actuated by mere mum
dane motives like the following?
The clergy are sorely afraid of discs
Enlistment which to them is the end Of
the world. Well, on the Radical plat
form close behind Home Rule looms up
this dread spectre. To weaken the Rad
ical party then would be good move
on the part of the parsons, and as the
makeup of the Radical party is nine
parts of Labor to one of Capital with
said one part on top, it may have dawned
upon the spectre haunted mind of 'his
Reverence" to wake up the nine parts
and show them how neatly they are be
ing tleeced by the first part, thus disrupt
ing the Radical party. True the capital
lists may point out to the clergy that
they are thereby endangering the whole
framework of society but the clergy
might well retort "What matters the
framework of society to us, without Our
fat livings we shall be among the unem.
ployed, and Messrs. Capitalists, if you
needs must insist on disestablishing as
we can but return the kindness by dis
establishing y0u, tit for tat. ,"

their own. Ca ira, ca ira.

THE LETTER..

To the Vorkmcn's AdrOcdte:
Thanks for attention in three late is

of mine. send you other papers show
ing the scope of my views about the Chi
cago affair. Sympathy with personal
merit in its persecution is good and USE
full. but only the emotional initiative of
resolute action that shall never rest short
of the punishment of the real conspira
tors and the complete vindication of the
liberties of speech and press. Wherever
it is still possible. we need such military
organization among workingmen, as the
LeLlr laid Weir lereia had proposed at
Chicago, and which would have pre-
vented, il is probable, the Haymarket
massacre. But the Supreme Court of
the United States, as well As that of
Illinois. having ruled against this CON
stitutional right, it is hard to see what
open and legal means remain for the de-
Tense of civic rights. The German Post
Texas has sensibly remarked that legal
prohibition to carry concealed weapons
surrendered the honest citizen to the
mercy of the hoodlum or the highway
man. We have seen that the constitu-
ton and legal customs are no check to
the invasive and enslaving policy of the
bourgeois. Of what avail show of emp

Irish Constabulary and Of the des-
potisms of Continental Europe,

sad results is only too we'll known.
1t is not necessary that every police
man be American born, but we, the

les and we give notice now that we
shall weed out from the police force
every man, whether native or foreign
born who is not an American in splr-

Freedom alludes to the "Black Bands
of 1893, the money grabbers enriched by
specializing on starvation or or cardboard
soled shoes supplied to the army of the
republic, who bought from the State the
contiscated estates of the priests and the
mobiles" Thus he continues the dream
of the turnip jam, cotton-silll and pois-
oned beer manufacturers will be realized.
A parliament converted to the ideas of
land naturalization imposes heavy taxes
on land values an l thus comrels the ras-
cal lords to sell their estates. A poor
furniture millionaire who died the other
day, never could attain his ideal proprie-
torship of Shaftesbury Castle and invite
hunting parties there. Why did he not
live on till the land taxation scheme had
become a reality? But the retired
butcher next door hopes not to die with

And while millionaires in their pride

was one the rest of the land will be

ford to pay more because he can get good

The middle classes, as they warm to
wards land naturalization, become
harsher toward Socialism.
There is no new departure; feeling
hindered by their Socialist toll, they have

ing which promps such editors to
abuse and threaten those who dare
express their opinions we are con-
strained to confess that to denomnate
them as bigots is all too charitable.
They are mendacious hyprocrites who
sell their abilities to the capitalist
class. In order to "retlect" adiscas-
ed "public sentiment they permit
no consideration of truth to influence
them, but like cravens parrot the
unhcly DEGREES Of their keepers.
Now, as to public sentiment, we
cannot recognize the opinions of the
public which are based upon false
premises as q true sentiment. The
public has been swindled by the
public press which owing to the fact
that the great means OF communl-
cation, the telegraph, is under
control of the very class opposed to
the best interests of the masses, is
also under control of the same class,
the capitalists.
And what means have the few who
dare proclaim the truth as opposed
to this manufactured "public senti-
ment," to reach the public? A few
weekly papers, a few tracts, publish
ed by virtue of untold sacrifice on
the part of the few who refuse to be
gulled by the tools of capital; who
refuse to believe that Good" has de-
signed them to be subseryicnt to the
cunning and powerful swindlers of
society.
But the "still, small voice" is
gathering volume as intelligence and
reason gain sway, and every act of
brutality like that of the murder Of
the five anarchists" of Chicago will
only serve to make people think and
search for the truth which, when re-
cognized, will create a public senti-
mcnt that will demand, and with if.
reslstible power enforce the demand,
that the system of force and robbery
shall be destroyed, and the cowardly
generation of vipcrs" be swept from
the face of the earth.

Despotism is in the air. For years
the moguls of the Board of Trade
ilk have been yowling for Il strong
central government and even openly
advocated monarchy. In Chicago
they have consumated one of the
most damnably diabolical plots in
history.
The monied moguls seem bent on
thoroughly proving to the wage
slaves of this country that IL labor
reformer has no rights that capital
is bound to respect. They have in
deed led many to believe that the

fable, our Wanted freedom an
